Priorities

I received an email this morning from my cousin. She is getting married this year -- this I knew. She was giving me a big heads up about the dates and such so that I could fly back home for the big event. The only problem I could see was that it was at a crucial point in my school year. However, after thinking about it today I realized that very few will give a fuck if I am at school or not during this time period and furthermore, NO ONE will say, "Hey thanks for being here instead of going to your cousin's wedding". And as a part of my new philosophy on life, I have decided to go! First of all, I like this cousin. She has been there for me and she is more important that being in the classroom for a few days. Secondly, I need to start living my life for me! I cannot continue to think of every possible angle of what may or may not happen in the future...Live in the present! Okay, so a little planning like finding a flight is good...

The next thing I need to do is rent a house on the beach for my birthday this year! It's a big one and I want to celebrate. It will come a few weeks after my cousin's wedding, so living it up will be the theme =D
